One of my tutors used to say: “Learn your tools!” It may sound very basic, but some examples from my own (computer science oriented carrier) are:
Learn to use Git (including more seldomly used functions like git log).
Learn to use some advanced IDE like Eclipse.
For some purposes, using the Terminal is faster than clicking through the finder/explorer/nautilus/…
As mentioned, typing fast is usually very handy.
Usually, one tends to rely on learning by doing, but often this does not let you find the optimal solution but rather the first one that works at all, so maybe it is good to force yourself every once in a while to learn from manuals etc.
